Environmental Defense Fund

Environmental Defense Fund or EDF (formerly known as Environmental Defense) is a nonprofit United States–based environmental advocacy group. The group is known for its work on global warming, ecosystem restoration, oceans, and human health. It advocates using science, economics and law to find environmental solutions that work. EDF is nonpartisan.

Headquartered in New York City, the group has offices across the US, and employs scientists and policy specialists worldwide.

Fred Krupp has served as its president since 1984. In May 2011, Krupp was among a group of experts appointed by the US Department of Energy who were charged with making recommendations to improve the safety and environmental performance of fracking from shale formations.

The organization was ranked first among environmental groups in a 2007 ''Financial Times'' global study of 850 business-nonprofit partnerships. Charity Navigator, an independent charity evaluator, has given EDF a four-out-of-four stars rating since 2012. Provided by Wikipedia
